Technical information

Machine Limitations
1. The ACM was designed to work with 28“ cones that have had the raised rubber feet
removed. Using any other configuration cone may cause malfunction of the system or
damage.
2. While in operation, there is minimal clearance from the drop-box to the ground. In
addition, the drop-box extends off the side of the vehicle. Obstacles and un-even ground
should be avoided. The operator must avoid impacting uneven surfaces and other
obstacles.
3. In the Drop-Off and Pick-Up mode, the ACM has minimum and maximum speeds at
which it works ideally. Refer to the Operator’s Manual.
4. The maximum cone capacity is 80 cones, 40 per stack.
Critical Inspection Points
1. The hydraulic hoses on the gripper assemblies are subject to loosening and can
develop leaks.
2. The V-Track Wheels on the gripper assemblies can break and possibly cause further
damage. They should be inspected periodically.
Notes
The Machine Limitations and Critical Inspection Points lists do not represent either a set
of operating instructions or recommended maintenance schedule and/or procedure. Refer
to the appropriate documentation for operating instructions and maintenance information.
